Motorcycle-specific pants are often disregarded, especially on shorter rides, at the expense of comfort. It’s understandable, really. Motorcycle pants of yesteryears are heavy, bulky, hot, and let’s face it, pretty dorky. This has changed a lot, and in reality, even budget-friendly riding jeans are a lot cooler and comfortable than your off-the-shelf pair of jeans.
Personally, I sometimes find myself wearing my mesh riding jeans even when I’m not on the bike—I just take the D3O knee and hip inserts off to keep my legs extra cool. That being said, riding jeans have also become a lot more sober in terms of styling, so much so that you won’t even be able to tell that they were designed to be used specifically for motorcycles. Of course, protection is by no means sacrificed, with new materials boasting superb abrasion resistance used generously. Such is the case with REV’IT!’s newest offering: the Davis TF riding jeans.
